“…Table 1 presents the sample size, the minimum and maximum TL and W measurements for each species, the TL-W relationships, parameters a and b, the standard error of the slope and the coefficient of determination r 2 . The expected range of 2.5<b<3.5 (Froese, 2006) Ergüden and Göksu (2009) have published reports about the length-weight relationship parameters of some of the freshwater fish species in inland waters of Turkey. Tarkan et al (2006) reported positive allometric growth for A. boyeri, C. gibelio, R. amarus, V. vimba in Marmara region.…”

“…On the other hand, silver gold fish (Carassius gibelio) was stated in the lake but the price is not as good as for other commercial fishes despite the important production from the lake. There are some studies for weight-length relationship (LWR) regarding fish species in freshwater of different geographic regions in Turkey (Tarkan et al, 2006;Torcu-Koç et al, 2006;Ergüden and Göksu, 2009;lhan et al, 2012). Data of LWR in fishes could be useful to estimate the biomass of a fish species from their length observations for yield assesment (Froese, 1998;García et al, 1998).…”

The study reports on length-weight relationships (LWRs) for 13 fish species (Atherina boyeri, Cobitis fahirae, Alburnus battalgilae, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius gibelio, Ladigesocypris mermere, Pseudorasbora parva, Petroleuciscus smyrnaeus, Rhodeus amarus, Vimba vimba, Sander lucioperca, Gambusia affinis, Knipowitschia mermere) of 6 families in Marmara Lake, which is an alluvial set lake in west Anatolia, Turkey. Fish were caught between March 2012 and February 2013 with trammel nets and gillnets. The lengthweight relationship was calculated using the expression: log (W) = log (a) + b log (L). Parameters of LWR are computed as "a" ranging from 0.0053 to 0.0385, "b" from 2.346 to 3.429, and "r 2" from 0.814 to 0.994. Growth types were determined to be isometric, positive allometric and negative allometric for 4, 4 and 5 species, respectively. In addition, the present study includes first records of LWR for two endemic and two native species in freshwater of Turkey. The results would be useful for the protection of the presence of endemic species and sustainable fisheries in the lake. How to Citelhan, A., Sarı, H. M.

The parameters of the length-weight relationships of 9 species belonging to 4 different genus together with the regression coefficient (r 2 ), the number of specimens (n), minimum (min), maximum (max), mean ± standard error of the total length and 95% Confidence Interval b(±SE) of specimens measured and statistical results relationships of fish species could be affected by geographic locations, sampling area, seasons, sex, spawning time, sexual maturity, stomach fullness, size range and ecological factors such as temperature (Yılmaz and Polat, 2009;Erguden and Goksu, 2009;Ayyildiz et al, 2014). Different species belonging to the same genus can possibly affect the b value (Ayyildiz et al, 2014).…”

“…07p7 the value calculated for the whole sample was similar to (Altindag et al, 2002), or higher than those reported in the literature (O'maoileidigh and Bracken, 1989;Wright and Giles, 1991;Altindag et al, 1998;Sinis et al, 1999;Miranda et al, 2006;Alaş and Ak, 2007;Balık et al, 2009;Erguden and Goksu, 2009;Erguden and Goksu, 2010;Innal, 2010). The tench in Trasimeno Lake can reach the length of 50.54 cm and the rate of growth was high (0.27 yr −1 ); also the growth performance index testifies the quality of the growth, being its value the higher reported in literature for other populations (Wright and Giles, 1991;Balık et al, 2009;Froese and Pauly, 2011).…”

Key-words:von Bertalanffy's parameters, back calculation, reproduction, fecundity, gonadosomatic index Growth and some reproductive properties of native Tinca tinca Linnaeus, 1758 from Trasimeno Lake were investigated during 2009 and 2010. The total sample of fish (510) was composed by 126 males, 221 females and 163 immature specimens. Total length (TL ± 0.1 cm) and weight (W ± 0.1 g) were recorded; age estimation was based on scalimetry and sex was determined by microscopic observation of the gonads. Age composition varied from 1+ to 11+. The TL-W relationship was log 10 W = −2.235 + 3.248 log 10 TL. Previous growth was determined with back-calculation from scale measurements using the Fraser-Lee method. Theoretical length growth was estimated with von Bertalanffy's model. Analysis of the gonadosomatic index (GSI) suggests that the reproductive period of the population took place from May to July. Sexual maturation occurred in both sexes at the second year of life. The mean diameter of eggs was 0.075 mm. The mean number of eggs produced by each female was 233 930 and increased with the size of the specimens. Though it is one of the most widespread and interested species in fishing in Italian waters, tench has not been widely studied; this research deepens some biological characteristics of this species that is strongly shrinking in Italy. La longueur totale (TL ± 0,1 cm) et le poids (W ± 0,1 g) ont été enregistrés ; l'estimation de l'âge a été faite par scalimétrie et le sexe a été déterminé par l'observation microscopique des gonades. La composition en âge variait de 1+ à 11+. La relation TL-W était log 10 W = −2, 235 + 3,248 log 10 TL. La croissance a été détermi-née par rétro-calcul à partir de mesures sur les écailles en utilisant la méthode de Article published by EDP Sciences L. Pompei et al.: Knowl. Managt. Aquatic Ecosyst. (2012) 406, 07 Fraser-Lee. La croissance en longueur théorique a été estimée avec le modèle de von Bertalanffy. L'analyse de l'indice gonadosomatique (GSI) suggère que la période de reproduction de la population a lieu de mai à juillet. La maturation sexuelle a eu lieu dans les deux sexes dès la deuxième année de vie. Le diamètre moyen des oeufs était de 0,075 mm. Le nombre moyen d'oeufs produits par chaque femelle était 233 930 et augmentait avec la taille des spécimens. Bien qu'elle soit l'une des espèces les plus répandues et recherchées par la pêche dans les eaux italiennes, la tanche n'a pas été largement étudiée ; cette recherche approfondit certaines caractéristiques biologiques de cette espèce qui est en forte régression en Italie.
